Been there, done that, had to do the daggerboard repair... Gurnard is a good place for that sort of thing: there seem to be some odd rocks further out than the main lumps (not to mention the Cudmore ledge of course) that catch you out.

Its worse when you have to come in, because the daggerboard won't come out until you get on land (and have a firm enough footing to put some real force on it) you have to tip the boat over in deep water.

Surely at some point one of them started to wonder about the chances of not hitting anything that close to the rocks... that just looks painfull.

I thought you were just having fun.

Of course, you could always just come in off the wire for the last 300 metres before the line (that's the bit you mean, I suppose?), especially when racing against me... please.
